Five gear items. Non-negotiable before the motorcycle moves. Swipe through the breakdown — then tell me in the comments: Which one did you skip when you started?

Hey Crew, During the crew meeting yesterday, I talked about something I’m starting to test out: internal crew certifications, beginning with Basic Control. This is very early-stage and experimental. Nothing is official yet — we’re simply testing the idea and seeing how it lands with you all. Basic Control – Proficiency Rules (Test Phase) How it works - Each proficiency requires completing all 5 drills in order - Drills must be completed back-to-back as one proficiency attempt - You may complete it in: Attempts - You get up to 3 attempts per drill - A run = one full attempt at the drill - If you fail all 3 attempts on a drill, the proficiency attempt resets Failure conditions (any of the following fail the run) - Hitting or knocking over a cone - Missing or not following the drill design - Putting a foot down - Dropping the bike Order matters - Drills must be completed in the listed order - Doing drills out of order fails the proficiency, even if each drill is clean Important notes - Speed is not graded - This is about control, consistency, and clean execution - Take breaks as needed — rushing usually causes resets I’ll be working on a video series soon where I actually show how a Basic Control certification would work step by step. Once that’s out, this will make a lot more sense. For now, consider this a heads-up post and a place to gather early thoughts. If it feels fuzzy right now, that’s okay — just hang tight until the video examples are up. Appreciate you all helping me pressure-test this before anything becomes “real.” Good luck @Elad Best !

Just had the first crew meetup! Thank you all for joining. Cant wait to get more and more structured! Here is the video from the livestream

Is a Grom a good bike to practice basics on or should I stick to something with more cc?
